These are my picks for the ten best-looking Yamaha motocross models of all time.

In compiling this list I considered all of Yamaha’s motocross machines from 1970 through 2019 and included both the two-strokes and four-strokes I have tried to take into account both how the machine’s appearance rated against its contemporaries and how I feel the bike has withstood the test of time. Some designs that I loved way back when just look silly today and some that I thought were a misstep when they were introduced has really grown on me with time. In both cases, these are of course just my opinions, so feel free to let me know if you agree or disagree in the comments section below.

I have produced both a video version and article on PulpMXcom. In the Pulp version, Steve Matthes and I debate my picks and he basically tells me why I have no taste in motorcycles. Enjoy.
